lirik lagu brian reith - i'll get by
[chorus]
to the broken people tryin to make ends meet
but can barely stand on their feet
say “i’ll get by.”
i’ll get by, i’ll get by, i’ll get by
to the kids who ain’t got no shoes on their feet
tryin to figure out what to eat
say “i’ll get by.”
i’ll get by, i’ll get by, i’ll get by
[verse 1]
this ain’t for becky
this ain’t for soccer moms
this is for kids in somalia
who ain’t got no moms
this is for teens
listenin to lil wayne
’cause he seems to have the courage
to make music for them
and this is for the outcasts
the underprivileged
who can’t seem to catch a break
but stay diligent
make the most of the bad
that life’s givin them;
choose to survive
despite what dad did to them;
stay vigilent
though they know
that this unjust world
doesn’t pay fair dividends
child workers getting paid
under their minimum
while the chairmen ceo
makes a million
and this is for the jobless
homeless
who keep hoping
‘casue they know this world isn’t home it’s
just a place we’re all pa~~ing through
if you’re in jail
yeah. this song’s for you
[chorus]
to the single moms holdin downa family of five
while putting in 9 to 5
say “i’ll get by.”
i’ll get by, i’ll get by, i’ll get by
to the kids tryin to raise themselves on their own
’cause mom and dad are never home
say “i’ll get by.”
i’ll get by, i’ll get by, i’ll get by
[verse 2]
this is for those
who can’t sell their homes
flipped upside down
worth half of it’s loan
full tank is gone
economy’s in the tank
so we look
to credit cards and banks
and feed off of the lie
that says that we can just buy
our way out of this mess
and somehow maybe we can get by
advertisers keep enlargening
our appetite
we’re starving after
what can’t satisfy
but let me make a suggestion
better get a profession
we put too much stock
in our earthly possessions
our problem is way bigger
than a recession
as a whole we have lost our soul
to our obesessions
but it’s not too late to get back
to the reason we’re alive
i promise you i found it
it’s the reason i survived
it’s why i stand tall
i can breathe, touch the sky
i believe that i will get by
[chorus]
to the soldiers on the frontline riskin their lives
tryin to figure out how to survive
say “i’ll get by.”
i’ll get by, i’ll get by, i’ll get by
to the sons tryin to hold down the weight of the storm
’cause daddy is away at war
say “i’ll get by.”
i’ll get by, i’ll get by, i’ll get by
[bridge]
how long
will we keep on failing trying to get by
on our own?
how long
till we lift our eyes to the one who can
lead us home?
[verse 3]
to the billions of people who are mad at god
’cause most churches haven’t done their job
and hurt you badly
yes, it’s a tragedy
you’re lookin at a casualty
i’m judged instead of loved
you have every right to be mad at me
but please forgive us
as we try to fix this
but this time, not because of
selfish ambition;
this time because of
jesus, who lives within us
so we are not religious
we’re just redeemed sinners
and he offers peace in the midst
of affliction
and he is deliverance from
the deepest addiction
though he may be hidden from
your plain sight vision
just look beneath the surface
and you cannot miss him
as far as all our problems go
i know i can’t fix them just by
singing this song
so much has gone wrong
though change don’t come easy
together we can be strong
i was hoping we could all start by singing along
[chorus]
to the broken people tryin to make ends meet
but can barely stand on their feet
say “i’ll get by.”
i’ll get by, i’ll get by, i’ll get by
to the kids who ain’t got no shoes on their feet
tryin to figure out what to eat
say “i’ll get by.”
i’ll get by, i’ll get by, i’ll get by
[outro]
i’ll get by. i’ll get by
i’ll get by. i’ll get by
